Chapter 452 Clever Ship Removal Scheme

Xia You stood on the bow of the ship, holding a monocular in his hand, although the monocular was expensive, his role was still very large. Especially in water warfare, it is more important to pay attention to the battle battle, and if you can find the enemy first, you can have a certain amount of time to adjust the battle formation. Even if it is not possible to replace the original battle formation with a battle formation that completely restrains the opponent's battle formation, but adjust some places, at least to occupy a few more advantages when facing the enemy, and this advantage is likely to be the last goose feather that crushes the camel.

This is also thanks to Chen Yintuo, who did not arrange firewood according to the arrival of the fireboat. Generally, fireships have dry firewood piled up in the canopy and stern. There is nothing unusual about such a fireboat from the front, and it will be noticed when it gets closer, but it is a little late at that time, and the distance is enough, and then the sailors on board will light the firewood and abandon the ship and jump into the water.

Chen Yin did this because he was confident that the Han army had no way to deal with it, and he also wanted to increase the power of the fireship. For this reason, dry firewood was piled up along with the bow of the ship, and it was not even covered with an oilcloth, which was directly clear to people at a glance. So Xia You suddenly discovered Chen Yin's poisonous plan, and his face changed greatly. Seeing this, the adjutant general beside him couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the general?" ”

Xia You didn't seem to hear it, and didn't move. Only then did the deputy remember that Xia You was deaf, so he hurriedly patted Xia You on the shoulder, and when Xia You turned his head to look at him, he repeated what he had just said to Xia You. Although Xia You was deaf, he knew lip language, and after 'listening' to the lieutenant's words, Xia You frowned, handed the monoculars to the lieutenant general and said, "See for yourself"

The lieutenant general couldn't be polite, and hurriedly took the monoculars and put them on his eyes. When the deputy general saw it, he was even more unbearable than Xia You, and he was shocked. said to Xia You: "General, quickly order a retreat, otherwise it will be too late"

Xia You shook his head and said, "It's too late."

"That's how much you can go," the adjutant general was so anxious that he wanted to give the order himself.

Although Xia You was also frightened, he was different from the lieutenant general, he still remained calm. Xia You understands that although he can escape some by retreating, but the Yue army boat division is not vegetarian, they will definitely follow and cover up, and it will be difficult to say how many warships can escape when the time comes. Besides, even if you can escape, you will miss the Lord's plan, and it is better to think of a way to deal with it.

"The ships on the south side immediately sent a hundred men to the shore." After half a sound, Xia You said calmly.

"Docking? What is the use of landing" The deputy general looked at Xia You and asked puzzled.

The corners of Xia You's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smile and said: "In this way, you can resolve the poisonous plan of the Yue people."

The deputy general originally didn't think so, but when he heard the back, his face immediately changed greatly, and he nodded like a chicken. After Xia You finished speaking, he went down without saying a word and personally arranged for the soldiers to land.

…… Vietnamese ......

"What are you doing? Sent ashore? What is the purpose of the Han barbarians in doing this? Because the distance was quite far, Gou Jian stared at it for a while before he realized that he asked Chen Yin.

Chen Yin said with some shame: "The minister doesn't know, but the so-called soldiers will block, and the water will cover it." No matter what it is, the Han barbarians are also useless."

Gou Jian heard this, thought for a while, and felt that what Chen Yin said made sense, nodded and said: "Well, what you said is not wrong, no matter what the Han barbarians do, it won't take long to let them live happily for a while."

Gou Jian said, the joy on his face was even stronger, if there was no accident, this battle would be the first big victory of the Yue Kingdom against the Han barbarians. This also means that the Yue country will stop the decadent momentum of the war against the Han barbarians, greatly boost morale, and the opportunity for the Yue country to turn over is coming

But soon Gou Jian's brows furrowed again, and after the Han army put down some people, they did not set off immediately, but grinded, as if they were unwilling to continue to move forward. If there were no iron cable fireboats, Gou Jian might have been happy with the Han army's actions, so that he would have time to transport all the soldiers to the south bank, but at the moment, he was bent on winning a big battle, so he naturally hoped that the Han army would quickly crash into the iron cable fireboat.

Chen Yin hesitated for a moment, and speculated: "Lord, it seems that the Han barbarians have discovered our fireship."

"So far away, the Han barbarian can see clearly?" Gou Jian was surprised and didn't believe it anymore.

"Although I don't know why I can see it so far, but it seems that I really saw it, Lord, if you look closely, the Han barbarian seems to be grinding, but in fact, he is adjusting his formation, and he seems to be preparing to retreat" Chen Yin's voice was more certain this time than before.

As soon as Gou Jian heard the word retreat, he was like a cat that had been stepped on by his tail, and the hair on his body exploded. Gritted his teeth and said: "How can you let the Han barbarians go and immediately attack the widows, the Yangtze River is so wide, the widows don't believe that their hundreds of warships can still walk under the eyes of the widows."

Chen Yin was also unwilling to let the Han army go like this, and nodded vigorously with deep sympathy. Immediately ordered the fireboat to attack, and more than 30 Vietnamese boat divisions slowly followed behind the fireboat.

The fireship, which had received the order to attack, immediately sprang at a rapid pace, and the sailors on board rowed their oars with all their might, and followed the current, plus the ships were full of dry wood, sulfur, hay, and oil. It's not very heavy, especially dry firewood and hay, don't look big, but there are a lot of gaps in it, and it's very light. Twenty fireboats were like arrows off the string, drawing a long water mark on the surface of the river, heading straight for the Han army's boat division.

At this moment, not only Xia You and they saw it, but even the little soldiers could see it clearly, this is a fireboat Ah There was a commotion when the Han Junzhou Division boarded, but fortunately, the Han Junzhou Division attached great importance to military discipline, and the commotion quickly subsided. And there were officers on the side, although the Han soldiers were panicked, but there was no order, everyone did not dare to turn around and retreat, so they could only attack hard.

When the two sides were about six or seven miles away, the bows of the twenty fireships were set on fire, and the sailors on board immediately fled to the stern of the ships, and a small boat was strung with ropes behind the fireboats. After untying the ropes, the sailors immediately jumped into the water and climbed through the water onto the boat.

Twenty fireships were already in flames from bow to stern in just a moment, although no one controlled them, but with the current and residual power to control, the fireships still collided with the Han army boat division. In addition, it is only six or seven miles, don't look far away, in fact, this is not the case, first of all, the Han army is also advancing, although the speed is slow, and secondly, the speed of the ship has reached the extreme, and the rest of the journey will not be slow to get there, at most it will be about five minutes, the two sides will collide, and the Han army has no time to turn around.

At this time, the vice admiral on the bow of the ship couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked Xia You, "General, do you think there will be a problem?" ”

Xia You didn't answer his question, Xia You's attention was focused on the fireboat at the moment, and he didn't notice that the vice general was talking to him, let alone 'listen' to the vice general's words.

But at this very moment, on a slightly protruding piece of land on the south bank, four or five long hooks stretched out. All at once hooked the outermost fireship of the iron fireship.

"It's done," Xia You waved excitedly.

I saw that the Han soldiers who were put on the south bank in the middle were all concentrated on the land that was about to protrude slightly, and at this moment, not only scratched the hook, but also seven long bamboos stretched out to resist the fireboat. Although these fireboats are not small, each hook or long bamboo is operated by at least four Han soldiers, and most of them are seven or eight people.

Although the fireships were unwilling, they were still reasonably fixed by the soldiers, but this was not counted, and don't forget that the fireships were connected by iron cables, and the outermost fireships were fixed. The other fireships were still moving forward under the action of inertia, so that the fireships were like a fire whip, and they were whipped towards the south bank. The coverage area of the fireship is quite a lot, more than three miles.

So at this time, Xia You still didn't dare to be careless, and ordered the whole army to slow down, and reduce as much as he could, but he was not allowed to stop the ship. When you stop the ship, you need to put an anchor, and it can be a waste of time to set sail again.

"How can this be" Gou Jian's eyes widened, and he grew up with a mouth that could swallow an ostrich egg, staring at the situation in front of him. In his opinion, how could an invulnerable strategy be so simply broken

Gou Jian is Gou Jian in the end, and he quickly came back to his senses, now is not the time to be shocked, but to find a way to solve those damn Han barbarians. Gou Jian instructed Chen Yin: "Immediately order the soldiers on the south bank to dispatch, and kill all those Han barbarians on the shore, and promise the soldiers to kill one person and get another five acres of land."

When Chen Yin heard this, he didn't move his steps, but made a bitter face.

Seeing this, Gou Jian was furious and pushed Chen Yin, but fortunately Chen Yin was good, otherwise he would have fallen into the water because of Gou Jian's push on the bumpy boat. But that's not all, after Gou Jian finished pushing Chen Yin, he immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Yin's nose, and scolded viciously: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and order someone to give an order, do you want to wait for the Han barbarians to be killed before coming to your senses?" ”

Chen Yin hurriedly explained: "Lord, this is not the case, but there are only fifty soldiers on the south bank, and even if they go, it will not help."

"How can this be, won't you send more soldiers?" Gou Jian was like a wounded beast at this moment, roaring madly at Chen Yin. Although he was angry, fortunately, Gou Jian still retained a trace of reason, knowing that his move was actually unreasonable. Otherwise, Gou Jian would have already drawn his sword and cut Chen Yin.

Chen Yin lowered his head and silently endured Gou Jian's anger, lest Gou Jian become further annoyed and angry. In fact, the reason why there are not more soldiers on the south bank. That's because there are not many troops, and the north bank may be attacked by the Han army, while the south bank is safe. Naturally, the soldiers were all deployed on the north bank, and the soldiers on the south bank were only used to guard against some small meals.

For these, how could Xia You, who came to attack, not inquire about the enemy's troop deployment, so he sent troops to disembark on the south bank, and he was not unprepared. Of the hundred, there were probably about thirty of them who did not help to intercept the fireboat, and they were all on guard with weapons. The number of people may not be as large as the Vietnamese army, but it is no problem to block the Vietnamese army and let the comrades complete the task, Chen Yin also saw it, so he didn't do useless things.

After half a ring, Gou Jian's reason regained the upper hand and stopped his vexatious trouble, or Gou Jian no longer had the heart to be angry. Under the action of inertia, the fireships all crashed into the south bank, and finally ran aground on the river beach on the south bank.

After losing the threat of fireships, the channel in front of the Han army boat division became unimpeded again, and the Han warships immediately accelerated. The oars on both sides of the ship turned rapidly, setting off patches of white waves on the Yangtze River, and the speed of the Han warship at this moment was not much slower than that of an ordinary horse.

"Please order the army to stop crossing the river immediately, otherwise it will be too late," Chen Yin glanced worriedly at the troop transport ship that had just arrived in the center of the river. The troop carriers are like bloated fat men, slowly advancing, if the order is to stop crossing the river now, those troop carriers that have just set off return to the north shore, and a considerable number of these soldiers crossing the river can survive.

"No," Gou Jian roared excitedly. "It can't be so"

Gou Jian's excitement at this moment is not a simple emotion, but also an excitement about the current situation in Vietnam. There were only 1,000 soldiers in the Yue country, but the Han army had 2,000 men, but this was not the worst.

If the Vietnamese army had cities as a backing, it could offset the numerical advantage of the Han army and block the advance of the Han army. So what if the Yangtze River is locked up by the Han army, after cutting off hope? Gou Jian could foresee that the country of Yue would be one after another, and the cities that were originally loyal to him would open the gates and surrender to the arrogant Han barbarians.

And the families of the soldiers under his command are all in Vietnam, and their families are deeply in the hands of the enemy. Gou Jian could already imagine whether these soldiers would choose to remain loyal to him after the surrender of the Yue Kingdom, or choose to succumb to the iron hooves of the powerful Han army, which controlled the lives of their families. Obviously, the soldiers will naturally choose the latter, if not all of them, at least most of them do. When the time comes, he will either die or be killed in a mutiny.

So in the current situation, Gou Jian has not many options, either bravely fight with the Han army boat division, or cowardly wait for defeat and death to bring. Although Gou Jian once surrendered to his husband and endured all kinds of humiliation from his husband, it does not mean that Gou Jian is a cowardly person. On the contrary, Gou Jian is a resolute person, he will not allow him with a proud bloodline, cowardly waiting for failure and death to bring, his descendants of Dayu, even if he dies, he will die vigorously.

"No matter how the attack is, the widow must let Yang Zilu understand that the descendants of Dayu, even if they die, they must break the net with him" Gou Jian roared almost madly.
